Duke Special
Bruised romanticism is probably not the first thing you notice about Duke Special. If you meet him in the street, it’s more likely to be the unlikely dreadlocks and implausibly wide trousers. If you see him onstage you’ll be struck by his remarkable voice, and then perhaps the gramophone and the curious menagerie of supporting musicians. But his songs - heartfelt, poetic and passionate - will be what stay with you.
Ben Graham, The Fly
‘Duke Special writes great, repentant love songs, like Rufus Wainwright
without the silk cushions, or a less histrionic Bright Eyes’
Roisin Ingle, Irish Times
'a voice shot through with equal measures of honey and heartbreak’
